Had a honking hell of a car on the dyno last night.

@Jon-MooredPerformanceLLC was doing his thing!

Heads are assembled. Learned how lap valves, use some neato spring compresson tools. Ported by MMX, 426 should breathe nicely with the Holley high ram.

Just been terribly busy, working on things! Lets start. I now do PCM upgrades! Guaranteed to work with HP Tuners.

I have a stack of PCMs and I can upgrade all model years. Video of the process incoming! Next some engine porn!

I have been taking my time, Mike has taken time out of his busy schedule to teach me. Very rewarding. Pistons, cam and heads this week! Then into the car… 😅

I am assuming you were doing the mysterious "unlock PCM" procedure? Just curious, where does one learn how do this? Never have seen the cover off one of these GPEC's - thanks for the video!

I spent a lot of hours editing hex files to figure it out. Where one learns to do this. Don’t really have a good answer. I went and took a lot of hardware hacking courses so I had some base knowledge. However best bang for the buck. Asking Grok.

Be nice to see how it's really done ✔️ nice work spending the time to learn.
You managed to dump the machine code and read that?

Yes. All auto manufacturers by association are probably using https://www.automotivelinux.org/, AUTOSAR or QNX. However thats at the low level. You really only need the high level engineering files, these contain the correct “bytes” to do anything. Once you upgrade the bootloader the keys to kingdom are yours.
